I returned to my hometown after winning the koi lottery.

It was only seven o'clock when I got home. I tiptoed around and prepared the vegetables I had bought. Xiaotao's mother had a secret recipe for braised pork. She had to boil the pork belly in cold water first to remove the foam. This was mainly to remove the blood inside and also to set the shape.

By then, the meat will have a nice shape. Then, add rock sugar to the pan and stir-fry until it's browned. Add the pork belly and stir-fry until it's evenly colored. Then, turn down the heat to render some of the fat and pour out the lard. This will make it less greasy. Then, add two bottles of rice wine, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer on low. After a while, the aroma will be fragrant.

Xiao Tao was woken up by the alarm on her phone and stretched. She rubbed her eyes and woke up, still feeling a little dizzy. It was mainly because she didn't sleep last night and didn't get enough rest this morning.

I checked my phone and saw that President Li sent a message last night, as did Sister Xiaoyu and Chairman Li. Oh, I was so busy writing novels at night that I turned off the silent mode on my phone and didn't see it.

She hurriedly opened the letter from Chairman Li. It turned out that he was coming over to play for two days, but she didn't know when he would arrive. Sister Xiaotao was a little nervous, after all, he was the chairman of a listed company.

Without bothering to read other messages, I got out of bed and asked, "Mom, mom, where are you?"

Calling the soul, Xiaotao's mother was concentrating on cooking, and replied unhappily, "Can't you see I'm busy? You slept until seven or eight o'clock, are you going to work or not?"

When Sister Xiaotao heard her mother's scolding, she felt very upset. I'll go, I'll go. It's better to go to work than to be scolded at home. However, I have to let my mother consider the matter of Chairman Li coming. I don't know what to do.

Mom, Chairman Li is coming, what do you think we should do? Sister Tao is just so cool when she passes the buck.

Mom is busy with the spatula. Who, who wants to come?

Chairman Li, Sister Xiaotao reiterated solemnly.

Oh, Sister Tao’s mother was panicked. Chairman Li is the mother of President Li, and her hand was burned all of a sudden.

Sister Xiaotao rushed over and said, "Mom, are you okay?"

Xiaotao's mother didn't care, "Lao Li, Lao Li, get up quickly and go to the vegetable market to buy seafood, buy abalone. She didn't know what time she would arrive and if she would be in time."

Sister Xiaotao was both angry and amused. She hasn't come yet and will probably come in the next two days.

Xiaotao's mother felt relieved and turned on the faucet to rinse with cold water. It still hurt a little. She couldn't help but scold, "You damn child, you scared me and made me scream. I thought I would come over soon, but it really hurts a little."

Sister Xiaotao hurriedly brought the medicine box over and asked, "Are you okay? Let me see what's going on."

Lao Li came over hurriedly before he even put on his clothes. "How are you? How are you?" he asked, his face full of concern.

Xiaotao's mother scolded, "I'd be fine by the time you came over. You're so lazy. You don't care about anything all day long and you only care about your car."

Old Li is a car enthusiast, fond of all kinds of vehicles. He started with bicycles when he was young, and later became a bicycle seller. He's a well-known collector in his small circle. He has a room full of his antique bicycles at home. When he's alone, he likes to tinker with these, which Xiaotao's mother considers junk. He was back at work on his bicycle restoration last night.

Hehehe, Xiaotao's father remained unchanged in the face of all changes, smiled foolishly, and applied medicine to his wife. Xiaotao's mother was both angry and amused, asking, "How could I be so blind as to marry you?"

Xiao Tao found it funny. Xiao Tao's mother was obsessed with looks. Of course, she married her father because he was handsome when he was young. After getting married, she realized that he was a man with a smart face but a stupid mind. He was actually a stubborn person. He would get stuck in his favorite things and couldn't get out. He didn't have anything else in his mind, so he seemed immature. Of course, now that she's older, she's better. When she was young, she made a lot of jokes when she went to her mother-in-law's house.

Chairman Li is coming. Xiao Tao received her message early in the morning. She asked, "How are we going to receive her?" Xiao Tao's mother put the blame on her husband. Xiao Tao's father didn't take it seriously. I'll ask my apprentice to go to his brother to book a hotel with better standards to pick her up, and then take her to Yunju Temple to burn incense and eat vegetarian food. Big bosses all like famous mountains and rivers. In our small place, this is the only way.

Xiaotao's mother was angry and anxious. Did she come here to burn incense? She came to check on Xiaotao. You really don't care about her. Such a big thing for your daughter, do you treat her as a friend of your antique bicycles? Burn incense and get out of the way.

Sister Xiaotao was a little confused. It had just happened. I had just met Chairman Li, and how did it bring up marriage? No wonder my mother was so nervous. She quickly explained, "Mom, you got it wrong. President Li and I don't have that kind of relationship. We just have business dealings and are friends. Yes, we are friends. We are not in a relationship."

What do you mean they're not in a relationship? Wasn't it his father who introduced them? Sister Xiaoyu knows everything. We were all talking about this yesterday. I'm still worried about you. Xiaotao's mother was confused.

I don’t know what Sister Xiaoyu said. You asked me to drink soup, and I don’t know what you said. Sister Xiaotao is innocent.

Xiaotao's mother saw that the braised pork was almost done, turned off the low heat, came to the dining table and sat down, and explained it in detail from the beginning, "Look, you silly girl, it's so obvious to others, but you are still confused. You really take after your dad."

Come on, Lao Li, come over here too. Let's eat and talk. Xiao Tao's mother hates her for not fighting. Lao Li, bring the corn porridge over here. Xiao Tao's mother said as she took out the chive box.

Oh, these chive dumplings smell so good. Thank you, Mom, for making so many delicious dishes. I love you so much. Sister Xiaotao narrowed her eyes.

When you go to work later, please bring President Li some braised pork that I made specially for him, Xiao Tao’s mother instructed calmly.

Isn’t it a reward for me? Why bring it to him, Sister Xiaotao asked stupidly.

My mom is so disappointed in me because you don't use your brain. If someone pursues you and you don't show any reaction, it's hard to even expect you to get married.

Sister Xiaotao stuck out her tongue and said, "I don't want to get married. I'd rather serve my husband's family and feel so comfortable without having to worry about anything."

With a snap, her mother slapped her and said, "Don't worry about it. I will take care of it. If your father and I die, what will you do?"

I spend money, Xiao Taojie stubbornly said, spending money, spending money, can you buy affection? Xiao Tao's mother laughed angrily. You can't win an argument with your own mother, Xiao Taojie pursed her lips and kept silent.

Xiaotao's mother taught her earnestly, "I think you have many advantages. You have a cheerful personality, you know how to read, you can use a computer, and you graduated from university. You see, knowing how to read is an advantage. It's true that your own child is good in every way."
